To find the effective factors that influence the efficiency of this predator, the predation rates of <jats:italic>A. swirskii<\/jats:italic> fed on (\u0399) TSSM in the presence and absence of the pollen, webbing, and GHWF, as well as on (II) GHWF in the presence and absence of the pollen, and GHWF-produced honeydew were determined. Furthermore, developmental time, fecundity, and population growth rate of this predator under the same conditions were measured. Our results showed that <jats:italic>A. swirskii<\/jats:italic> was able to reduce TSSM population, while the spider mite webbing had an adverse effect on the performance of the predator. Therefore, the presence of the predator population at the time of the infestation is crucial to the success of biological control. It can be concluded that the alternative food sources such as pollen and GHWF-produced honeydew play an important role in maintaining the predator population in the absence of pests. Moreover, the results indicate that using the pollen and another pest along with the target pest can promote the predator density. <jats:italic>A. swirskii<\/jats:italic> consumed lower numbers of TSSM when concurrently offered with GHWF and\/or maize pollen, and lower numbers of GHWF in the presence of pollen. On the other hand, in the presence of alternative food or alternative prey, the fecundity of the predator was much higher.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007485318000640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]],"date-time":"2018-08-30T05:25:03Z","timestamp":1535606703000},"page":"365-375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The efficiency of <i>Amblyseius swirskii<\/i> in control of <i>Tetranychus urticae<\/i> and <i>Trialeurodes vaporariorum<\/i> is affected by various factors"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Mortazavi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7963-5409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Y.","family":"Fathipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.A.","family":"Talebi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1603\/0046-225X-32.2.327"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3059.1977.tb01023.x"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11158\/saa.22.12.5"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref7","first-page":"225","article-title":"Two new methods for the study of insect population ecology","volume":"24","author":"Chi","year":"1985","journal-title":"Bulletin of the Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biocontrol.2007.10.017"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref28","first-page":"244","article-title":"Linking life table and consumption rate of Amblyseius swirskii (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in presence and absence of different pollens","volume":"110","author":"Riahi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Annals of the Entomological Society of America"},{"key":"S0007485318000640_ref6","unstructured":"Chi H.
